This is it! AtomWeaver reaches its first “official” release, the desired “1.0″ label. For many, “1.0″ means immature, but for its creators, it usually means yay! I made it!… Yep, it’s that feeling.

AtomWeaver 1.0 is the materialization of an idea I had 10 years ago: Why not creating patterns of my own development skills, so that I don’t have to repeat myself over and over? At that time, I knew nothing about model-driven development, although I have already built a small code generator ten years before that.

This idea kept coming and going over the last decade when finally I decided that I had enough ideas to try and build a “variable-driven” code generator. Three and a half years later, and after three iterations of the ABSE concept, the whole decade-long project faces the outside world.

It has been a long journey. Still, I’ve just reached the “10%” milestone. My vision for ABSE and AtomWeaver is much larger. Version 1.0 is really just the tip of the iceberg.

It has been quite a long journey… so many headaches, so much fun!
